American Horror Story Freak Show isn't quite as stupid as Coven, which was unwatchable, but it seems to be hoping to get there. It isn't even on par with a bad horror film, but if you're looking for something as a guilty pleasure to talk about, and are willing to admit you watch it, there's fun in here.

Kurt Sutter's The Bastard Executioner eventually sets up a "Jax and his Merry Men" framework that will feel familiar, but there is so much that is wildly goofy going on, and each step is more simplistic than the last along the road we have to take to get there.
